July 31, 2009 - First Visit to High Risk OB

At first it looked like mom was going to have a routine pregnancy but that all changed as Mom Alicia's headaches started getting out of control & she went into severe morning sickness causing her loose weight & make eating a literal chore (it kept up almost the entire pregnancy). 

In addition, the doctors realized she had a slightly enlarged aorta and weren't sure how it & a connective tissue disorder (now known to be Marfan syndrome) that causes joint & back problems would affect the pregnancy. That would mean extra monitoring. 

She was referred to the high risk OB clinic but little did we know that was only the tip of the iceberg...

June 21, 2009 - Jayden Was Conceived


Baby Jayden's story began when mom Alicia found out she was pregnant in July of 2009.

Jayden's mom & dad had been dating off & on for several years but split up just before mom found out she was expecting. They were not able to resolve their issues & dad went a new direction with his life.
